- customizing

[Trant, David]

I thought the customer namespace had to start with 9.  I recommend this
to avoid conflict with standard delivered workflow definitions.  Here, I
chose to assign a different prefix to each system, development, Q/A, and
production, on the outside chance someone had to go in someday on an
emergency basis and do something directly in a target system.  Also, by
having all prefixes defined in all systems, should your organization
refresh development or test systems periodically from production, you
automatically inherit the correct prefix without having to go back in
and change it.  The one additional step required during a refresh is to
reset the number range index.  This isn't strictly necessary since SAP
is smart enough to bypass numbers that are already in use, but it proved
less confusing for the overall community to preserve continuity.

Attached is a document explaining our strategy in case you're
interested.

Also, you should never use $TMP unless you truly have no intention of
ever transporting your development.  I seem to recall that there are
even some issues with truly local objects not always behaving nicely
without a proper development class assignment in 4.x systems (this turns
into 'package' in newer systems).

Enjoy,
David
